What's wrong with his eye?

[BarbHicken17]

I went outside today and saw one of my bantams chicks eyes was closed shut and the other one was open. Do you know what could have caused this and how I should treat it?

He doesn't act like his in pain, but any help from you guys is appreciated.

He could have scratched his cornea or poked his eye. It doesn’t look super swollen or leaking any discharge, so I’d just keep watch over him the next few hours/days. If it starts getting worse he’ll probably need some ophthalmic ointment or antibiotics.

Hm... I have to agree with @TattooedChicks. I hope he gets well, please keep us filled in!

He's a very handsome bird by the way.

I don't know what's wrong but if you have any coconut oil you can put that on. It's an antibacterial. I used it on one of my quail that hurt it's eye. Was back to normal in a couple of days.
